Chapter 470 Appraisal Fee

It didn't take much time for Yitong to set the time, but the time was 10 days later, so it was still early for Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang.

"It seems that we still have plenty of time."

While walking down the mountain, Fang Ming said to Zhou Yafang.

"Yes, but this is also good, we can have more time to prepare and inform others."

Fang Ming was taken aback and said, "Huh? Notify others? Preparations?"

Zhou Yafang stopped in her tracks, glared at Fang Ming, and said, "Of course, the opening this time is well prepared, and there are many people to be notified. Do you think our Guxuanzhai is still the same as before?"

Patting his head, Fang Ming said, "That's true, I haven't thought about it."

Fang Ming really hadn't thought about this issue, but Zhou Yafang was right when he thought about it. Last time when Guxuanzhai opened, Sikongzhe and others came. Of course they will come this time, but it's different. It was at that time that I was not so famous, but now, especially after the Treasure Appreciation Conference, I feel that I am famous in the "world". Under such circumstances, it is definitely impossible for Guxuanzhai to open again. It was the same as before, so Zhou Yafang was right.

After getting into the car and starting the engine, Fang Ming thought for a while and said, "Leave this matter to Sister Avon, I'm not good at it."

"Okay, no problem."

Zhou Yafang knew that Fang Ming was really not good at this kind of thing, and her current energy was on the operation and management of the store, and such things were within her scope.

"I thought about it for a while. Since I don't need to interfere with the opening, I'll focus on the auction. I've spotted a few things to see if I can take them down."

Back in Guxuanzhai, Fang Ming took a look and found that there was another antique missing on the shelf. He knew that Jiang Wen had made another deal during the time he was out.

Sure enough, maybe he heard the sound of the car, Zhao Zhuzi rushed out from the inside, and as soon as he saw Fang Ming, he said, "Brother Fang Ming, the business of your antique store is really good. It was done again this morning." It’s a deal, and it’s the kind of take it and leave!”

He has never eaten pork but has seen pigs running. Although Zhao Zhuzi doesn't have much research on antiques, after all, he has been going to Niu Ping's place from time to time since he was a child. How difficult it is to sell an antique in an antique store.

However, although the time in Guxuanzhai was relatively short, what I saw was completely different. Antiques were sold one by one or even several a day, and all of them were millions of pieces.

"Hey, it seems that the business is really good."

There was a smile on Fang Ming's face. Of course, the purpose of opening a shop is to do business. Of course, the purpose of doing business is to make money. Now that the business in Guxuanzhai is very good, he is naturally happy.

"However, Brother Fang Ming, you have to think about it carefully. I don't think there are many antiques on your shelf."

Zhao Zhuzi pointed around, and Fang Ming looked in the direction Zhao Zhuzi pointed, and found that many of the surrounding shelves were empty.

"Ugh!"

Fang Ming sighed, this is indeed the biggest difficulty that he, Zhou Yafang and of course Guxuanzhai are facing now, and the crux of the problem is that it is difficult to solve this problem now.

"Brother Fang Ming, you're back."

Jiang Wen should have heard the conversation between Fang Ming and Zhao Zhuzi, and Jiang Wen came out of it.

"Well, I'm back, what's the matter? Is there something?"

Jiang Wen was the kind who couldn't hide things in her heart. Fang Ming immediately noticed that the expression on Jiang Wen's face seemed to be a little excited while speaking.

"Yeah, there is something, business is here."

"Oh? I know this. Isn't there one piece of antique missing from the shelf? I remember that it should be a piece of bronze, right? That's right, yours has become the gold medal salesman of our Guxuanzhai."

Jiang Wen curled her lips and said, "Now we don't have to worry about selling our Guxuanzhai's products. Anyone who sells them can do the same as me."

Fang Ming had already walked to the shelf, and was about to pick up an antique on it to play with. Hearing what Jiang Wen said, he knew that she was not talking about the antiques she had sold before, so he turned around and said, "There are other antiques. business?"

Jiang Wen pointed to the tea room triumphantly, and said, "Yes, business is here, and I'm waiting for you inside."

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Fang Ming's unresponsive appearance, Zhou Yafang laughed and said, "Someone came to the door and wanted us to do an appraisal for him."

"This one……"

Fang Ming realized now that this was originally one of the Guxuanzhai businesses that he discussed with Zhou Yafang before he left Ningdong City. You must know that because Guxuanzhai's antiques are now on the high-end route, and good Antiques are not so easy to get, so they simply opened up a new business, which is to appraise antiques for people.

Of course, such business charges are relatively expensive. After all, with the current reputation of Guxuanzhai, there is no way for ordinary people to invite them.

After glancing at the tea room, Fang Ming whispered, "You can't identify it?"

Jiang Wen glared at Fang Ming, and said: "If I can identify it, then I will be in charge of this store. Besides, that one doesn't want me to identify it, so I want you to identify it. But, having said that, the one he brought I really can't identify an antique. He has been waiting for you for half an hour, and I have looked at the antique he brought for more than half an hour, and I don't have any experience."

"Oh? Really? Then I'll go and have a look."

Fang Ming said and walked to the tea room. Although Jiang Wen was still immature in the identification of antiques, since there are a lot of antiques in Guxuanzhai to practice hands and eyes, in fact, ordinary antique identification is no longer difficult for her.

Fang Ming walked into the tea room, and immediately saw a man in his fifties sitting on the sofa. At first glance, his body looked like that of a legendary Shandong man. With thick eyebrows and a big face, although his hair was already thick A little pale, but sitting there exudes an imposing aura, one can tell at a glance that he is not a simple character.

"Mr. Fang Ming, right? I'm Jiangnan."

Fang Ming stretched out his hand to shake Jiang Nan, and said, "Boss Jiang, hello, I'm Fang Ming."

"I have to trouble you, Mr. Fang, today."

Jiang Nan pointed to the table, Fang Ming looked at it and found a box there.The lid was closed, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

"Oh, no trouble. How about it, Boss Jiang, take your things and follow me to another room."

Fang Ming took Jiangnan to a room with a large table and strong lights specially used for identification, pointed to the tabletop, and said, "Boss Jiang, take out the things and put them on the tabletop."

Porcelain is an old topic in the antique industry. Although it has been heard of by lovers, novices and even veterans, there are many people who suffer from it every year.

Fang Ming is a very careful person. This person named Jiangnan came to the store for the first time, and he didn't know much about him, so it's better to be careful.

It was obviously not the first day for Jiang Nan to play with antiques. Fang Ming asked him to do this and he nodded. He opened the box and took out the contents without saying why.

Fang Ming frowned when he saw the frown, thinking it's no wonder Jiang Wen said before that she was not sure at all.

What Jiangnan took out was a seal.

If there is something that is difficult to identify among antiques, then seals can definitely be regarded as a kind, especially ancient seals.

To give an example, an ancient seal has the word Jinshi on it, but there may be dozens or even hundreds of seals with such two characters in the history of thousands of years ago. These seals have the same characters but different strokes. , which side is the real one?
In addition, there are many other reasons that will affect the identification of ancient seals.Of course, some people say that the identification of impression can be carried out from the style and so on. Of course, there is a certain truth in this, and it can indeed be identified to a certain extent.

However, it should be noted that in history, many people, especially scholars, carved seals when they were free. Such seals came for practice. In this process, if the engraving is good, it will stay, and if it is not good, it will be rubbed off. This will be a big trouble. There are often several seals handed down from the printed book, and they are all very similar. , how to identify?

Therefore, the identification of seals is indeed a difficult thing.

"This... Mr. Fang, can you identify it?"

When Fang Ming frowned, Jiang Nan also noticed that this was not a good thing. In fact, he had obtained this seal for a long time, but he couldn't identify whether it was real or not.He also took it out to some people to see, but they were not sure.After hearing about Fang Ming's reputation, he immediately came to his door, hoping that this famous appraisal expert in Ningdong City would appraise it for him.

"It's not easy to identify this."

Fang Ming thought for a while, pointed to the seal and said, "I can do the appraisal, but it will cost 3 yuan."

Jiang Nan was a little dazed. When he bought this seal, he only spent 1 yuan, and the appraisal cost 3 yuan?
"This...heh, isn't it a little high?"

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said: "It's not high at all. Maybe when you bought this seal, you paid less than the price of my appraisal, but if it is true after my appraisal, then the value of this seal is It’s far more than 1 or 3, of course, if the appraisal is fake, 4 yuan will be for nothing, you can decide for yourself.”

Jiang Nan's complexion fluctuated. Fang Ming's words were not wrong, the fact is that, he may miss something, but he may also lose more.

This account is not difficult to calculate at all, but the problem is that it is not easy to choose. Before coming here, he never thought that Fang Ming would charge such a high appraisal fee.
